Gas Grass

Gas Grass is a plant required to feed Gassy Moos.

Usage
One cycle of Gas Grass growth produces 1 kilogram of Harvested Gas Grass for a Gassy Moo, which excrete 500% of the consumed mass as Natural Gas. This results in a conversion rate of 1:10, producing 10 kilograms of Natural Gas for every 1 kilogram of Liquid Chlorine consumed. 11 Gas Grass plants are required to fuel a Natural Gas Generator running at all times.

Seed
Gas Grass does not produce seeds by itself. They can be acquired only by conducting space missions to the Organic Mass with a Biological Cargo Bay.

Growth
Gas Grass requires temperature range of -273.2 °C - 75 °C, air pressure of 150 g - 10 kg, and 20 kLux of light (e.g must be planted in Space Biome).

Wild Growth
Wild Gas Grass can appear only with the help of Pips.

A wild Gas Grass takes 16 cycles to grow.

Domestic
Gas Grass can be grown in a Planter Box, Farm Tile or Hydroponic Farm. The Hydroponic Farm is recommended as it requires irrigation with 500 gram of Liquid Chlorine per cycle.

A domestic Gas Grass takes 4 cycles to grow.

Tips

 * Although Gas Grass does not require a specific atmosphere to grow, some gases absorb light which can result in the plants not reaching the required illumination. Natural Gas absorbs the most light out of the elements that are gases at the required temperatures, followed by Chlorine, Carbon Dioxide and Polluted Oxygen. Gases absorb more light at higher pressures. Oxygen absorbs no light.
 * Gas Grass -> Gassy Moo farm effectively turns Chlorine Vents into 10x more effective Natural Gas geysers at the expense of power used to chill Chlorine from 60°C to -35°C and opportunity costs of not using the surface area taken up by the farm for solar power generation instead.
 * Gas Grass can be illuminated by a Sun Lamp, however net energy gain and thus practicality is dubious.
 * Gas Grass can also be illuminated by a shine bug reactor; however, it may be more practical just to use solar panels in a shine bug reactor.
